Global Franchise and Distribution

Our Global Franchise and Distribution Team is adept at developing strategies and documentation for increasing market share and driving additional revenue, at the lowest cost and least risk consistent with achieving the client’s objectives. We help clients navigate regulatory complexities and litigation risks to grow their franchise systems domestically and overseas, advising on:

Entity structure – assisting franchisors with entity structures designed to minimize creditor claims and maximize asset protection under federal and state law.

Outside the franchise arena, the team has deep experience with distribution and licensing programs of all types and aimed at all major jurisdictions throughout the world. We are not cloistered academics, and pride ourselves on creative solutions designed to optimize the balance between legal and compliance risk, on the one hand, and the client’s ability to operate its business effectively, on the other.
